Grade Stakes Being set Along thu
Snake River.

The Independent says that seventeen
men are setting grade stakes for . rail-
road from Grange City down the river to
Wallula at the instance Of the 0. r. 81
n, and that another ara surveying
grade along Snake river opposite Pom
sroy. Other parties tell Us that they
purpose to commence the work Of grad
ing the road from Wallula to Lewiston
IL shs sarly spring. II is inferred that
Il viii DO part Of the work Of building
the road from Wallula to Butte City.
Montana, IL pursuance Of the additional
filings d that company, published some
weeks ago, and is to be paid out Of the
I've and one half million dollars loan
they have recently negotiated IN Europe.
This move may have been prompted by
inquiries inside BY Jim Hills company
recently made in relation to the passes
through the Bitter Root mountains lead
ing 10 and down the Clearwater. No
one knows the programme Of Jim Hill
beyond Butte City west. But man, are
seeking to End out, and the general'im-
preston in the public mind is that he
intends 10 take the Clearwater route and
30 down Snake river. This impression
may have prompted the 0. R. 4 n, to
the present movement in surveying the
grade along Srake river from Wallula.
There evidently is an effort to obtain a
priority in this route. When the con-
struction viii commences or when it will
end BY any company We know not. We
are well informsdthat the route has more
advantage than any other route from
Montana to the west and Columbia river
We never have met any Of Jim Hills
men, and if we had it il very doubtful il
we would have been any wiser in relation
to his contemplated movements in the
west. The whole force of the Northern
Pacific were in dequate to find his
plans in advance of his actual commenc.
ing work.

WOULD He VETO ANOTHER BILL
FOR ANNEXATION.

Authorization meetings are still!
thanking President Cleveland for veto.
ing the annex alton bill passed by con-
gress last winter. The President did net
veto tho bill; he refused to act upon it
because it came to him SO late that he
could not give it proper consideration.
Tho chances are, however, that should
the bill again pass he would veto it
Idaho Democrat.
As a matter Of course, We don't know,
and do We presume to predict, what the
President would or would not do iu case
Of tbs passage of another and similar bill
for the annexation Of North Idaho to
Washington. All We know about the
matter is what Delegate Dubois related to
us, to the effect that he had converse
ton with the President in relation to his
not signing the former bill, and express
ing that he thought the bill ought not to
become law, that the President listened
attestivsly to what he had to say, and
replied that at the time the bill was pre-
sented to him for signature he was not
sufficiently advised as to the merits Of
the bill aud therefore withheld his sigma
ture. But he had since learned more
Of the facts, aud had he known at the
time these facts he would have signet
the bill, and should ever the bill or t
similar one be ever again presented t.
him for signature, he would sign it
The substance of the above was related
to US in our Office, when Dubois was il
North Idaho before he went north from
Lewiston, and from this conversation
had with Dubois l inferred that Dubois
was sincere in the belief that Cleveland
regretted his non-action in the matter.

The people of your territory did not

Whore IL to be the Dividing Line.

We have received returned petition
from precinct in Idaho county with
the signatures Of all but two persons in
the precinct, accompanied by letter
which says: They were opposed to
the dividing line, dividing the county
and leaving the southern part in Idaho
Territory, as the bill! passed by the last
congress evidently did" The divid-
ing line in the bill passed by the last
congress was framed at Washington,
D. c., at whose instance we know not,
but evidently at the instance of some one
Who did not understand the situation.
The memorials which had heretofore
been presented to congress upon the
subject, asked that the 45 parallel be the
dividing line, to the west boundary Of
Lemhi county. Thence north to the
summit of the Bitter Root mountains

Montana. This change must have beer
made in the bill SO as to throw Warren'
into South Idaho, but at whose instance
We know not. The 45 parallel divide

about ten or fifteen miles. The presen
memorial asks that all Of the fou

We are often asked Are the annex
alton petitions being generally signed by
the citizens of North Idaho? A large
namber were sent out by the committee,
to sundry parties in the different counties
with the request that they be distributed
80 that all who chose could sign them,
and that they be returned, as signed, to
the committee before the first Of Decem.
Der, in order that they could be forward
ed to congsess in time to be presented
for their consideration. Several Of these
have already been signed and returned,
mostly from precincts in this county, and
others are being signed in all the coun-
ties, and we have reason to expect that
all will be signed and returned in due
time. Up to the present only three
persons have refused to sign the petitions
and these men gave no reason for theil
refusal. Others may have refused but
are not reported to US, Already ncarl,
900 names have been affixed to the
petitions already returned, and only foul
out Of the thirteen precincts Of this
county have been returned. Two pre-
cincts in Shoshone county have sent il
their petitions with the statement tha
Ill the residents of those precincts hat
signed. We hear that in the mining
districts large number Of signers hav'
been secured, but Of this we know no
except by outside report. There ha
been some 10 the mines north who hav
expressed a preference for Montan
annexation, but we cannot learn Of an,
definite action taken by them to sho,
their preference.

Governor semple Of Washington

Gov. Semple, of Washington Terri
tory, in his inspection tour to Eastern
Washington, had to cross the line into
North Idaho last week in sorder to be
accommodated by the public conveyances
between points in his own baliwick, and
accordingly come to Lewiston, by stage,
from Moscow, to which place he came by
rail from Colfax. He came here Thurs
day evening and left tor Asotin county
on Friday morning. His coming was
unannounced in advance, but notwith-
standing he met several acquaintance at
the hotel and was Introduced to several
of our principal citizens during his short
stay, all of whom gave him cordial
greeting. The Lewiston Brass Band,
learning Of his presence, came out. under
their leader, and gave him a serenadc at
the hotel, to which he responded in q
neat and brief speech, thanking them io'
the kindly notice they had taken Of biz
presence. He was urged to make hi
stay longer but his engagements wer'
such that he could not. Had he beer
able to comply, our citizens would hav'
turned in mass and gave public recep-
ton, such as would have fully assured
him of our desire to become part Of hi
gubernatorial Jurisdiction. But he di
not deem it proper under the circum
stances that he should discuss among on
people the reasons why we should desir
annexation to Washington, yet he left
to our judgement to determine for ou'
selves what we should do in the premises

Ed Martin, the young man killed at
the Bannister trestle wreck on Monday
night, was buried at Covesville. He
was the only son of Mr. Jerry A. Mar
tin, of Free Union, in this county, and
had been placed in charge of farm near
Covesville, which he left for the work
he was performing when death over
took him. That the bridge was weak
ened by fire is denied by some whose
means of knowing the facts were of the
best. The accident resulted because,
as is claimed, the bridge was not strong
enough for the heavy engine and the
many heavily laden cars that were
drawn on to it.

the Sergeant.
"Ycs, l shot at her, said Shipmsn
calmly.
"What did you do il for?"'
"Cn account Of jealousy" was hi

Then he stopped and would say nc
more. In his pockets was S65. The
policeman who arrested him thought ht

When the ambulance from Roosevelt
Hospital arrived at the house Mrs,

leg. and another on the outside OF hel

reaching the hospital.
Who Shipman is nobody about the
house seemed to know last night IL
YVES said that he first came to board
there about year ago, and he had q
friend who roomed with him. They
were there only few weeks. Shipman
returned and hired room about three
months ago. He is short, stout man,
light complexioned, and of good fea-
lures. He wears long, light nous
tache, and his light hair is inclined to
be wavy. He always dressed nicely,
wore silk hat, and seemed to have
money. None of the other boarders
knew his business or anything about
him or his relations with Mrs. Mason.
He is ten or twelve years younger than
she was. Mrs. Mason's husband was
Alexander Mason, a ticket agent on the
Erie road, and they lived in Jersey
City.
About 9 o'clock last night II. G..

The room which Shipman occupied
opened by sliding doors into q little hall,
and Mrs. Mason's opened the same way
into the same hall. The police think
that the shooting took place in his room.
When he was found the doors were
closed and everything was in order.

TO the Editor Of The Dispatch:
Please solve the following problem,
and oblige Know NOTHING.
A tells b he did business of $780,.
600 in 1886, in which he made profit
Of S25, 200. What percentage is this,
and upon what basis as rule are these
calculations made?
There is no problem to be solved.
You have told the whole story yourself.
A sold $1,000 worth of goods OF
which $4,000 was profit. Therefore
he made $25, 900 on capital of S75, 900,
or 33l per cent. Perhaps we have mis-
understood the problem.
